As Vaughan grows multiplying highrises are creating a missing middle

If you live in the Vaughan area, your mailbox was likely flooded with flyers inviting you to learn about “Transit City 4” and other condo projects launching in the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC).

The city of Vaughan is changing. What used to be known as barren lands in the late '90s is now being revitalized to become one of the most robust and interconnected communities in the Greater Toronto Area.
